In what scenarios would using a headless browser, such as Chrome, be a suitable solution for checking the visibility of content within a div container in PHP?

When dealing with dynamically loaded content that may not be visible on the page without rendering, using a headless browser like Chrome can be a suitable solution for checking the visibility of content within a div container in PHP. By rendering the page in a headless browser, you can accurately determine if the content within a div container is visible to the user. 

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver;
use Facebook\WebDriver\WebDriverBy;
use Facebook\WebDriver\WebDriverExpectedCondition;

$host = 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub'; // Selenium server
$driver = RemoteWebDriver::create($host, \Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\DesiredCapabilities::chrome());

$driver->get('https://example.com');

$element = $driver->findElement(WebDriverBy::cssSelector('.your-div-container'));
$isElementVisible = $element->isDisplayed();

if ($isElementVisible) {
    echo 'Content within the div container is visible.';
} else {
    echo 'Content within the div container is not visible.';
}

$driver->quit();
?>
